        If you use pin 7 in your config its nr 4

        You have to use the gpio nr.

            @Bangee I tried everything regarding the white screen issues. I’m a noob. was able to get magic mirror installed, I also installed the PIR motion detection and can confirm motion is detected.

            Downgraded Node JS
            Installed the electron
            made sure module was added in config.js

            I am using the Raspberry PI 3 mode b.

            Can somebody confirm this module is working with Raspberry Pi 3.

            Any help would be greatly appreciative…
            Thanks.

                @Bangee Thank you so much for responding. I removed magic mirror completely reinstalled… then installed the module.

                All is well now… Thank you so much!

                  npm WARN prefer global npm@3.10.9 should be installed with –g

                    @bibi did you try it with the instructions from paviro:
                    https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor

                    I don’t think that this warn is your problem. I have so many times these warnings :-D
                    You sould send us whats in your pm2 logs mm

                                      @bibi you forgot to close the config section in the newsfeed module, add } after showPublishDate: true and you should be fine

                                      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                                          Ok the problem it’s solved! except the screen is turning on and off in a very strange way… have to figure out why.

                                          For those you would get the same issue as me, what i did after fixing my config file was:

                                          1. sudo apt-get update & upgrade & reboot,
                                          2. go in MMM-PIR-Sensor folder in modules folder and run npm install there
                                            3.sudo reboot
                                            cheers

                                            Also had the “white screen” problem. I installed a complete new Raspian (with PIXEL), a new MagicMirror - including node.js in version 7.3.0
                                            As soon as i tried to get the MMM-Pir-Sensor working, it failed (with an white screen). Heres, how i solved my problem.

                                            At first: Theres no need to downgrade the node (i tried this too, and had no luck)

                                            I figured out, that my problem was an MMM-PIR-Sensor installation error i did not recognized at the beginning. When i tried “npm install” i got something like this (an error):

                                            "gyp WARN EACCES user “root” does not have permission to access the dev dir “/root/.node-gyp/5.12.0”

                                            I figured out, that there are two ways of solving this:

                                            1. CHOWN the directory the install procedure tries to install
                                            2. use “npm install --unsafe-perm”

                                            Im aware that option two is not the “elegant” way, but it solved my problem (and i did not have to change directory permissions).

                                            I removed all files and git the files again (like described some lines above from banglee) and then just use “npm install --unsafe-perm”

                                            The “–unsafe-perm” option was the key to my problem…
